How is it possible to give a date for an average temperature? For the lowest recorded temperature on Earth [See related question]
The Crust
The lowest recorded temperature on earth was recorded at the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983.
It is the average temperature. the intermediate value between the highest and the lowest
very low, freezing even.
it is defice when temperature is lowest
Antartica has the coldest recorded temperature.
The lowest recorded temperature was -89.2 C (-128.5 F) in 1983 at Vostok, Antarctica.
Because - the further you are away from the Earth's surface - the lower the temperature is.
The Mesosphere has the lowest temperature of the layers of Earth's atmosphere because Temperature decreases with height in the mesosphere. The mesopause, the temperature minimum that marks the top of the mesosphere, is the coldest place on Earth and has an average temperature around −100 °C (−148.0 °F; 173.1 K)
Antarctica (South pole) where temperatures can drop to -120° or less.
The lowest ever recorded temperature on earth was -89.2 degrees celsius in Antarctica during July 1983.
